It’s funny how it happens every year at exactly the same time: the moment the autumnal equinox occurs, instantly the temperatures drop and the rain takes over the city. There's a slow pace in Paris now, the parks are empty and peaceful, the golden light is fleeting.
You may have seen this list here or maybe somewhere else, maybe not in the same format, or maybe some pieces have changed, but one thing for sure: there are a few items in my wardrobe that are the most essential, pieces that I rotate all my outfits around, pieces that create endless variety for styling. Here is this season's new essentials shopping list...
TO SOME PEOPLE, orange and brown are the colours of autumn. And perhaps they are, in October or November. To me, September, with one foot still in summer, feels more like neutrals--cream and ecru and rust and sand. September to me, is tall leather boots and cloudy Parisian skies, coffee and cosy knits and floods of morning light...
Timeless bags, such as Hermès Kelly bag, are an endless source of inspiration for styling. Classics such as this have no need for publicity, but there is a Mini Trend on Instagram lately of this beautiful bag ...
THESE DAYS I feel softly and almost imperceptibly, the transition between summertime and autumn. One moment, it feels like summer is endless and the next moment, the Parisian sky is covered with dark grey clouds and a chilly wind. Most Parisians are already back from holidays ...
Simone Bodmer-Turner is a California-born, Brooklyn-based ceramicist who creates ceramic sculptures and vessels using traditional methods such as hand-building using coils and slump molds exclusively―rather than a wheel―then slip casts these original forms. Turner draws on her time studying sculpture in Mexico and Japan, combining ancient techniques and technicality to render her modern forms.
Lately I have focused my attention towards my hair because I felt it dryer than normal and more damaged―partly because of the fact that it's been a hotter summer than normal, and partly because of the chlorine water of the pool and the salty water from the sea.
A LITTLE NINETIES, a little rock 'n roll―the padded shoulder t-shirt Mini Trend has been around for a little while now, but it's a perfect way to transition from late-summer into autumn. Worn with pleated trousers and heels or with blue jeans, it adds a little extra to any outfit...
The Dior Bobby is everywhere. The new Dior icon bag is called Bobby, after Monsieur Dior’s beloved canine companion, and the design is very classic and curated, with its clean lines and strict colour palette of black, cream, camel and blue Dior Oblique canvas.
This summer I have been mostly wearing earthy tones, linens and lighter shades, and effortless pieces―not following trends, but always choosing wearable pieces every season. As I've been spending hours going through the most popular and mentioned brands this season, I wanted to share with you a few pieces that I currently have on my mid-summer wishlist...
These past summer days, I have been lounging around reading Find Me by André Aciman, the author of Call me By your Name. Contrary to what everyone expected, he wrote on twitter: “I would actually love a sequel to Call Me By Your Name. In fact I am writing one.”
THIS WEEK'S Mini Trends is filled with summery, beachy vibes, even if the rest of the summer will be spent somewhat in lockdown. If you've been scrolling through Instagram, you'll most likely have noticed that all the fashionistas have been traipsing about with a chic wicker market bag ...
SINCE THE LOCKDOWN began, the only things we ordered online were household things such as thermometers, a new frying pan, a projector. Only recently have we begun to order new clothes ...
I am not usually interested in what is new in the beauty market, but would rather know everything about what is best. Figuring out which combination of products works for my skin is still a work in progress. My skincare routine always starts with a thorough cleansing process and then applying layers of products from the lightest to heaviest.
Breezy white dresses will be on every shopping list this month, as many fashion défilés have showed us many ways to wear this summer staple, and many brands have at least one style of white dress on their best sellers lists—prairie dresses, crochet, embroidered, and slip.
